Haegue Yang's solo exhibition, 'Lost Lands and Sunken Fields' at the Nasher Sculpture Center emphasizes a dialogue of contrasts and combines varied materials that evoke sensory richness. Yang, known for hybridizing folk customs and contemporary practices, explores themes of displacement and migration through her artworks. The exhibition features dynamic installations, such as 'Sonic Intermediates', merging sculpture, text, and sound. Concurrently, 'Arcane Abstractions' highlights her focus on cultural heritage. Yang's work bridges modern and pre-modern elements, reflecting on historical narratives relevant to today's global diaspora.
"Abstraction is not a...simplified way of thinking: it's a leap-a leap into a dimension that cannot otherwise be understood."
"Time and geography collapse in an abstracted visual language that merges the modern and the pre-modern, art history and literature, and themes of displacement, migration, forced exile, and global diasporas."
